Tarot is a divination technique that was developed from a simple Italian card game called tarrochi. This game had nothing to do with divining when it was first created, but was more similar to card games we play today with regular card decks. Today, this card model is what is most often used to read tarot with.
A tarot reading consists of a reader who is familiar with the archetypes of the tarot cards and their correspondences pulling cards as a response to a question and interpreting the answer based on what cards they’ve pulled.
While the cards have the answers, the cards themselves do not have any power and all cards are neutral until given meaning by the reader in collaboration with the querent.
The power in a tarot reading comes from the reader themselves. Their knowledge of the cards, as well as innate intuition and any psychic or channeling abilities they may have, allow them to create a story based on what cards are pulled.
The order the cards come out in, the positions they are placed in, etc. may seem completely random, but some believe the cards that fall out are ‘sent’ by a higher power, spirit guides, or ancestors.
Most tarot readers use psychic abilities in conjunction with the cards, with the cards being used as a template or a guide for the reading itself.
Although there are as many tarot reading techniques as there are tarot readers, the general aim of the reading is the same.
Tarot readers will usually begin by clearing their deck, or doing a brief check-in before they shuffle the cards. Often, this happens before the reader has started consulting with the client.
Next, they will ask the querent (the person getting the reading) what their question is, or if they want a general reading. General readings provide insight into what the querent might be focusing on in the moment and how to proceed, or what energy they are being invited to embody or consider.
With the question in mind, the reader then shuffles their deck. The shuffling technique varies between readers and decks. Some use the casino shuffle, while others simply fan cards out in front of them and choose the cards that they feel drawn to.
In an online tarot reading, the tarot reader will choose the cards, as opposed to the querent who might be asked to choose them in an in-person tarot reading.
After the cards have been chosen, they are placed into a spread, such as a 5 card spread or a Celtic cross spread, and their meanings are interpreted by the reader.
The reader will then go into an in-depth explanation of what they see. Some may choose to explain card by card, or give an overview of the story created by the cards and their positions. It all depends on the type of tarot reading and the reader’s style.
Afterwards, some readers may invite you to ask questions or request clarifying cards be pulled for any insights you may not have quite understood. Some readers don’t offer this – again, it all depends on the reader.
Tarot readers can provide answers to questions about pretty much anything. You can get a soulmate tarot reading, a psychic tarot card reading, career readings, readings pertaining to spirituality, your life path, or anything you can think of.
For the most part, tarot is best used as a tool for the bigger picture, rather than fortune telling or as an answer to a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question.
You may be asking, ‘Why couldn’t I just find a psychic tarot reading near me?’ An online tarot card reading works the same way as an in-person reading. The online tarot card reader is able to tap into your personal energy whether they are physically in front of you, or not.
Additionally, with an online tarot card reading, you have the ability to speak to tarot readers from around the world, with a variety of different techniques, styles, and insights. You aren’t limited to who you can find in your own city.
Another benefit of online tarot card readings is that there is little to distract the reader from their own intuition. What this means is that, if you were to appear in person for a tarot reading, they may pick up on distracting energies around you, and tune in to those energies rather than the essence of the question being asked.
For instance, if you had just had an unpleasant interaction with somebody on your way to the reading, they might pick up on any negative energy you bring with you into the space, which will taint the reading’s energy.
With an online tarot card reader, you and the reader are able to conduct the reading in a neutral space, from the comfort of your own home or work space, allowing for a more pure and accurate reading.
